Question: Will the links for the sites be sent through e-mail?

Cloverst 04/10/2007 #

Doh ! I knew I'd forgotten something Yes through email!

themissiah 04/10/2007 #

What about sites that are informative, but happen to have a shop, too? Are those allowed?

user5860 04/10/2007 #

just double checking so i don't mess up... so this is an all virtual swap, via email, no snail mail involved?

Cloverst 04/10/2007 #

themissiah - yep they're fine!

sarahElizabeth - how do :) Yes all virtual no mail involved at all. First of it's kind as far as I'm aware. Hoping it doesn't come back to haunt me lolol!!

user5860 04/10/2007 #

sounds good :) thanks

Cloverst 04/11/2007 #

Sorry about the name change, I thought it might make it more appealing....

Cloverst 04/18/2007 #

I changed the partners to 7 as there are only 8 in the group :)

YarnTails 04/18/2007 #

Hello To All of my Swap Partners -- I have just sent you an email with all of my favorite links and links I picked out just for you based on your profile. This was a very interesting swap in that I discovered new crafts and things I never knew existed. Please enjoy and if you have any questions or don't get your email, please, please let me know.

user6142 04/18/2007 #

YarnTails, thank you so much for the wonderful links! I've always wanted to try and get into crocheting so you sent some wonderful links for me too look at.

To all my partners - your emails have been sent from my yahoo address.

user5860 04/19/2007 #

Hello! Thanks YarnTails and lissi.love for the great lists! :)
I just sent out mine!

donnasaurus1 04/19/2007 #

Thanks to the following members for their great lists: Sarah rosemarie lissi.love

user5860 04/19/2007 #

diddldonna - got your list, thank you!! :)

YarnTails 04/19/2007 #

Thanks -- Sarah & lissi.love -- received your emails. Gosh, I could spend hours checking out these links.

diddldonna -- I sent you a note...

Oh and how does this rating thing work? Where do I go to leave a rating? I can't seem to find it.

user5860 04/19/2007 #

YarnTails, you won't be able to leave a rating until sometime after the date swap items must be sent by (4/22). I can't remember exactly how long... a week maybe? Anyway, when the time comes, there will be a link here where you can "rate the partners who sent you stuff", or something to that effect.
I'm antsy to rate too :)

donnasaurus1 04/20/2007 #

Hello i need to check who got my carft sites or not as Rosemarie didn't.

Sarah (Received) melissa lindsey vikki sherri Jessica Rosemarie (resent)

Oh and thanks to Sherry for mine today, the disney links are just excellent.

Cloverst 04/20/2007 #

Hi donna I got yours!

Received: Donna, Sarah Elizabeth, Rosemarie, CDclocks.

Mine are sent let me know if you didn't receive.

Don't forget to check your spam/junk folder!

Cloverst 04/20/2007 #

Oops and I received from lissi!

I am really enjoying this swap are you?

Donna how did you get that cute border down the side of your email?

donnasaurus1 04/21/2007 #

Hello the cute border came from a set on my outlook express.

Donna

YarnTails 04/21/2007 #

Thank yous go to Cloverst, cdclocks and diddldonna.

Donna we finally got over our email hurdle!

Great stuff, now I just need more hours in a day to do all the neat things I'm discovering.

Thanks Sarah Elizabeth for telling me about the rating wait. I too was getting antsy to give ratings. It's really tough being a newbie with no number behind your name.

Cloverst 04/21/2007 #

Don't worry yarntails tomorrow is the deadline and 7 days after you'll have a rating! Much quicker than others that joined at the same time! I couldn't wait so I left you a comment on your profile!

Cloverst 04/21/2007 #

Donna, I wanted to say extra thank you for the art freebies page on squidoo! I always love stuff like this! Now.... must not get addicted to neopets again lol!

Sarahelizabeth - My silly email program has deleted your first email, if you happen to have a sent forlder it may be saved in would you mind forwarding it on please? If you don't have all the links that's fine and if you don#t have a copy thats fine too I know you sent them!

Lissi - thanks so much for the retro clip art link! - That surrealcoconut website is strange! I just saw a seaurchin with baby bottle teats stuck to it lol!

Rosemarie - how come you can't buy lilac in flower shops? Do you have one in your garden? We have two and they are taking over!

YarnTails 04/22/2007 #

Thank you to Jessica Fancy! I received your links email. I got sidetracked reading the link to Cloverst for Leo...I'm one too.

Cloverst -- I don't know why they don't sell lilacs in flower shops. I can buy them at a nursery to plant in the yard, but can't buy them as any type of cut flower to have in the house any time of the year like you can other types of flowers.

I don't have a lilac in my yard. I planted one when we first moved in, but alas, the poor thing died on me. I think it's our tough clay type soil that didn't help it any. I've wanted to try again and will one day. In the meantime, the neighbor has one on the side of her house so I go and snatch some when they bloom in the spring. Shhh...don't tell anyone though. :)

Thank you also for the comment on my profile. I guess I didn't even know that comment link was there in addition to the rating link.

You all have a great day...or night as it may be!

user6142 04/24/2007 #

I have received links from all my partners and I cannot believe how many great sites I received!

YarnTails - I love all the crocheting sites you sent. I've always wanted to crochet but I'm all thumbs. I'm hoping to give it another go. Also, I too love Lilac. We used to have an annual Lilac Festival here in Palmdale, but I'm not sure if they do it anymore.

Sarah Elizabeth - Henna is so beautiful. I've played around with getting henna art before. I may just have to do it someday. And I love the bakespace link you sent me!

diddldonna - craftbits is one of my most favorite sites and I had lost the link so thank you so much for that!

cdclocks - oh my god, harry potter cupcakes lol. The swg craft site is actually for the game star wars galaxies (I was once a GM there) and not actual crafts, but it's an awesome site anyway =)

cloverst - I loved seeing your decos! You make some really neat ones. I'd love to receive one from you sometime! I'm going to have to try that crochet tutorial! Thank you for sharing it with me.

Jessica Fancy! - I cannot thank you enough for the faerie wings tutorial!

Giddy Up - I loved reading the descriptions you wrote! Thank you for sharing like that. I also love Martha Stewart and the Harry Potter craft site is perfect!

donnasaurus1 04/24/2007 #

I have received all 7 now, i am having so much fun looking through them.

Donna

donnasaurus1 04/24/2007 #

Can the following 3 members confirm they got my list.

Jessica Lindsey Sherry

user6949 04/24/2007 #

diddldonna - actually, I was just going through the emails. I thought I'd gotten your since I'd read the comments on the swap, but I guess I didn't. I looked through the spam filters, but no luck there, either. Would you mind sending the email again?

Sherry aka CDClocks

Lindsey, I can't find yours either. Would you mind resending it?

Thanks, Sherry aka CDClocks

user6949 04/24/2007 #

As near as I can tell, I've gotten links from: Jessica Fancy YarnTails Faerielove Sarah Elizabeth Cloverst

But I can't find emails from: Diddldonna GiddyUp

Did everyone get links from me? - Sherry aka CDClocks Sarah Elizabeth? Faerielove? GiddyUp? Cloverst? Jessica Fancy? Diddldonna? YarnTails?
